Publish in a newspaper
On December 12th, 1981, Suzanne was united in marriage to her loving and witty husband, Euin Clayton Collins. Sue's career was dedicated primarily to Baxter Healthcare in Mountain Home, Arkansas, where she eventually retired from in 1998 after approximately 25 years of loyal service. Sue dedicated the next two decades of her life to taking care of her husband Euin until he passed over to meet the Lord in June of 2019. Following Euin's passing, Sue's relationship with her daughter, Nancy Linn, strengthened beyond measure. They shared crafting hobbies and spoke multiple times daily right up to her very last day on earth.
Sue served as a faithful member of the Frontier Baptist Church in Pontiac, Missouri for the last 25 years, where she loved to fellowship with the pastor and congregation.
Survivors include her daughter, Nancy Ruth Linn and husband Scott, of Rogersville, Missouri, Anita Gay of Mountain Home, AR, Santha Leadingham of Clarksville, IN, Jeanne Beaver and husband Brad of Kalispell, Montana.
A graveside funeral service will be held at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, November 18, 2025 in the Pontiac Cemetery, Pontiac, MO. Officiating will be Pastor Bruce DeWeese. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Frontier Baptist Church. Arrangements are under the direction of Clinkingbeard Funeral Home, Gainesville, MO.
